Johnson is a come forward, middle of the ring brawler. JC is 46-0 because he is soooo good against these types of opponents and simply fights these guys at angles and in aggresive consistent flurrys.

The fight wont happen because it just isnt attractive enough to persuade either HBO or Calzaghe, but if it was to it would have 120-108 calzaghe written all over it!!
Gonna call bullshit on this, Johnson is a tough fight for anyone, he won't clam up like Manfredo, his output will put to shame what Hopkins and Jones did, and he's a cagey old man. I still think Calzaghe would win on points, but saying it would be easy is ridiculous.

I know what your saying mate and an in your face brawler like GJ would cause problems for anyone.

But in kessler, hopkins, RJJ Joes been up against styles he has rarely faced in his career and each time he had to overcome a new obstacle.

In Johnson i just dont see anything other than a glorified calzaghe-esque previous that he has been through endless times in his career to date and robin reid apart hasnt come across a single problem!!
Fair enough and you are entitled to your belief, but to say it would be as easy as Manfredo suggests you haven't ever seen Johnson fight. Johnson is cagey enough that Calzaghe will have to take time to adapt.
